A Lincolnshire family have ‘lost everything’ after their home was completely destroyed in a fire.

Simon Field and Emily Zamorski’s son, Finnlay ,7, had been watching television in his bedroom when his plug socket became engulfed in flames in Beck Way, Thurlby near Bourne yesterday, February 24. at 9.45am.

The schoolboy immediately ran to get his dad, who once he had got his child to safety called the fire brigade and attempted to douse the blaze.

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue tweeted about the fire which was put out using two hosereels, one main jet and two breathing apparatus.

The tweet said: “Crews from Bourne, Deeping and Spalding attended reports of a fire at a property on Beck Way, Thurlby. Severe damage by fire to one bedroom and contents and severe damage by smoke to the first floor of the house.”
